Process Overview
This assembly automation solution uses a YUSHIN take-out robot (SCⅡ 150) to perform insert molding, placing a nut into the mold and overmolding it with plastic, followed by automated inspection. By automating both the insert-loading operation and the downstream inspection process, the system minimizes quality-control touchpoints while improving overall productivity.

- STEP 4.
- Take out the insert-molded parts and load them onto the finished-part transfer unit
- STEP 5.
- Move the parts to the orientation-change jig
- STEP 6.
- Pick parts one-by-one for vision inspection
- STEP 7.
- Sort and discharge into trays based on inspection results
